That red robot, Maximillain still freaks me out. That part where he kills that guy with his drill arm, burrowing through a book he was carrying, gave me nightmares as a child. Classic movie. It’s hard to believe Disney was involved with this. The same Disney that gives us some of the worst music created by mankind (Radio Disney, ). They do have that Debbie Ryan chick though (best rack on TV, hands down).

There were definitely alot of creepy masks in the 80’s. Friday the 13th, Martian Chronicles, Eric Stoltz, that weird toy line, etc.. Has M.A.S.K. been featured here? Transformers mixed with G.I. Joe and masks. A trifecta of 1980’s kid stuff.

I had a buddy growing up who’s dad customized a Vincent figure into Old Bob, which came out awesome. He made him a S.T.A.R figure as well out of one of the sentries. His dad was into models and used his tools and model paints to customize the figures. There was great detail, down to Bob having round eyes and his head sitting crooked, and missing one of his “engines” on his foot.. Full paint jobs as well. Good times.

As was said earlier, for a Disney movie, this was very dark. I always enjoyed it.

You’re right about the late 80’s toys. It may have been because I started playing alot of D&D at that time, but I didn’t really get into toys like T.M.N.T.. I also frequented comic shops, so finding the original T.M.N.T. comics and RPG made the cartoon look kind of dumbed-down.
